enrol on to a first year of a full-time undergraduate/foundation degree course at SOAS

ordinarily be a resident in England and a Home student for fee purposes.

be a new student and should not already hold a first degree or higher qualification

only be made eligible for the bursary if you have been income assessed by Student Finance and have a household income of £25,000 or less even if you do not intend to take up the maintenance loan.

Priority will be given to the following groups:

students with experience of care

students from lowest participation neighbourhoods (Polar Quintile 1)

students with the lowest household income (students with a household income closer to £0 will be allocated in preference to £24,999 for example)

students who are first in their family to go to university ('First' means an applicant's parents, step-parents or guardians did not attend university. This is self-declared data which applicants include in their UCAS application form. If you are the first generation in your family to attend a higher education institution you must declare this in your UCAS application to be considered for this award.)
